With many of these spreads, 5 pips quickly becomes 7.5 or 8 pips. And forget about the GBP/JPY on the FXCM platform at a whopping 4+ pip spread!

The spread must be overcome to start making profit. Something easily forgotten until time to TP.

{quote} I placed demo trades on 6 pairs with your version to test it out - the hidden SL worked, but the profit target and trailing stop didn't work. Perhaps I messed up a setting or something... the one Surf posted above appears to be working great -
Yes, still testing.

Yes, that is why I look for low spread first, then ADR.

Tuesday Morning:
Frankfurt Open coming up soon, both GJ & EJ have moved steadily down during Asian session.
I only have around 35 pips room left to the downside for each.
GBP RED news in about 2 & half hours.

GJ hanging under RN for now and EJ staying just above RN.

Patience.
Healthy, Wealthy & Steady!!

{quote} Cheers Udine, appreciated! I usually use a different platform to trade so have just set up a demo account for MT4 - I have everything loaded up and the EA's seem to be working great, however I don't have a smiley face or skull, there is just a small rectangle box where both should be (not a sad face) - all live trading options are on and manual confirmations are off and as I say they seem to be working, it's just a bit disconcerting without the picture confirmations on there that they are live! Anyone else have a similar situation?

show us a chart..

Sometimes happens the Frankfurt fake... so waiting for London is NOT a bad idea

Hey Udine,

You always wait for London opening or you trade Frankfurt as well?
And how do you decide to trade Frankfurt,which criteria to avoid fakeis?

Normally I trade Frankfurt open when the price is around the .400/.500/.600 levels otherwise I leave it and wait for London open

Stay green

First start at London open, more new money flowing into the market to make the price move enough into our direction...
No need to rush it and start trading Frankfurt, your chances for getting your pips will come for sure..
